[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2301705, member: 93138"] Apparently an unpopular opinion, but I'm with Shilen. Nothing I own or will ever own will have a fluted barrel. Don't care whether or not a fluted barrel will shoot, it is not as stiff as it was before it was fluted and the surface area gain is minimal. I "fluted" a barrel in SolidWorks just to see what the area gain was. I tried several different straight fluting patterns and the result was 7%-9% gain in surface area. Nowhere near enough to make the loss of stiffness worth it to me. [/QUOTE]
